“Mrs. Montgomery, don’t fall asleep. We’re almost at the hospital.” Niamh grabbed Eloise’s shoulder, and when she saw Eloise almost losing consciousness, she kept trying to talk to her.
Her heart was speeding as she was extremely anxious. The corners of her eyes were also wet with tears.
“Nevaeh…”
Suddenly, Niamh heard Eloise calling Nevaeh’s name.
Her heart was already aching. Now, it was one disaster on top of another.
At this moment, Eloise started pleading weakly.
“You’re also a mother, Miss Vera. I hope you can empathize with me as a mother. The hearing is tomorrow and I’m begging you to please let Nevaeh off the hook. What she did was wrong, but as her parents, we’ve committed an even bigger crime. We didn’t educate her since she was small. Miss Vera, I’m begging you, please?”
Niamh pressed her lips together as she sobbed, her eyes wet with tears.
“Mrs. Montgomery, she’s not worthy of this.”
“She is. She’s my only daughter.”
Niamh bit her lip after she heard that. “She’s not. She’s not your biological daughter.”
“I know you’d say this tonight.” Eloise smiled superficially. “However, I must tell you that she is. She’s my biological daughter.”
After she said that, the car stopped moving.
Sean quickly carried Eloise into the hospital.
Niamh’s white shirt was stained with Eloise’s blood and even her hands were covered with blood.
She walked into the hospital. Since Eloise had lost too much blood, she was sent to the emergency department.
When she was in the elevator, Niamh received a call from Kendrick.
When he knew that Niamh was in the hospital, he canceled all of his online meetings and rushed to the hospital immediately.
When he saw her covered in blood, Kendrick’s heartbeat became erratic.
“Vera!”
He looked uneasy as he grabbed her shoulders frantically.
“I’m fine. This is Mrs. Montgomery’s blood.” Niamh explained.
Finally, Kendrick noticed Sean standing at one side.
After knowing what was going on, Kendrick looked at Niamh. His restless heart finally calmed down.
He never wanted to experience that unbearable pain again.
The door of the emergency department opened at this moment. A nurse quickly ran out and Sean stopped her. “How’s my wife?”
“Mrs. Montgomery’s wound is too deep and she has lost a lot of blood. She’s unconscious right now. Since her blood type is rare, the blood bank doesn’t have the one she needs. I’m about to go get some in our branch. It’ll take at least two hours.
“It can’t be helped.”
“It can.” Niamh walked over. “I can donate my blood to Mrs. Montgomery.”
“You?” Sean looked at Niamh in astonishment.
Kendrick’s eyes lit up.
“Stop wasting time. I’m going to donate blood now.”
Niamh turned around quickly while Kendrick and Sean followed after her.
After asking for some relevant information, Niamh quickly went through the procedure of giving blood. After a while, she donated 500cc of blood.
Kendrick removed his coat and draped it across Niamh’s shoulders.
When Sean saw Niamh giving so much blood for Eloise, he did not know what to say.
When she was about to leave, a nurse walked over. When the nurse saw Niamh, she was surprised.
“Oh? It’s you?”
Niamh was taken aback. She felt that the nurse looked familiar.
“You are…”
“Did you forget? When Mrs. Montgomery was losing too much blood during her surgery, her daughter refused to donate. Thankfully, you donated 500cc of your blood and it saved Mrs. Montgomery.”
The nurse slowly brought back Niamh’s memory.
Before she could deny it, the nurse said to Kendrick, “Mr. Waldburg, I remember your son getting hurt and needing blood three years ago. Then, a kind woman donated her blood to him. Back then, you asked me who it was. Here, it’s this woman. She’s very beautiful, so I never forgot about her.”
After the nurse said that, the air around them felt incredibly stifling.
Niamh smiled calmly and said, “I think you must be talking about Niamh.”
“It’s her…”
Sean’s shocked exclamations sounded in her ear.
Niamh turned around and saw regret as well as an apologetic look on Sean’s handsome face.
“I didn’t think that she was the one who gave blood to Ellie. I even…”
He had thought Niamh was bullying Nevaeh back then. As such, he yelled at Niamh angrily.
He had said to her, “It’s no wonder your biological parents didn’t want you. Such a vicious person like you shouldn’t even be alive in this world!”
Sean was stunned. He placed his hands over his eyes in remorse.
Niamh donated so much blood for Eloise and Jackson in secret back then.
However, she did not say anything. She only endured all of their evil words and reprimanding.
At that moment, Sean felt like he had committed the worst sin possible.
Now, even if he wanted to apologize, he did not have the chance anymore.
Niamh was dead.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Montgomery?” When Niamh noticed the worry and look of apology on Sean’s face, she asked softly.
Sean came back to his senses and smiled while hiding the uneasiness in his heart. “It’s fine. Thank you for giving blood to my wife, Miss Quinn.”
“Saving a life is like fighting against fire. I can’t just ignore someone in danger.” Niamh smiled. When she turned around, she saw Kendrick in a dispirited state.
The melancholy in his eyes was even more intense than Sean’s.
Niamh smiled bitterly.
She never expected them to thank or repay her by doing so. However, she did not expect them to give her such debilitating pain either.
Those words spewed at her back then were like invisible knives. They had sliced her skin repeatedly.
She still remembered the pain she felt back then.
After receiving Niamh’s blood, Eloise successfully averted danger.
Niamh let out a sigh of relief.
She was her birth mother, after all. She would be lying if she said she did not care about her.
Sean thanked her again and questioned, “Miss Quinn, how do you know that my wife has the same blood type as you?”
Niamh smiled and said, “After I came to Glendale, I saw a lot of information about Niamh and Nevaeh online. I know they have the same blood type, and I heard Nevaeh gave blood to Mrs.
Montgomery as well. So, naturally, I was able to predict that my blood type must be a match with Mrs. Montgomery’s too.”
Sean was taken aback when he heard that.
Sean still remembered what the nurse said just now. She said Nevaeh refused to give blood back then. Eloise was only safe all thanks to Niamh.
Nevaeh had refused.
